National Council for the Social Studies-Childrens Book Council: 2018 Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People

An eye-opening introduction to an important issue

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child states that every child in the world has the right to play. Unfortunately, that universal right is not always respected. I Like, I Don't Like presents this reality to readers by showing how children in varying circumstances can see the same object very differently.

With stark illustrations that perfectly capture the tone of the book, I Like, I Don't Like will inspire meaningful discussions about privilege and poverty.

Editorial Reviews

Kirkus Reviews "A hard, heartfelt read."

Catholic News Service "Uses two strikingly different perspectives on the same object to show how children from the same world face very different realities. . . . An astute child with guidance from an adult can use this book to open up discussions about solidarity and compassion."
